Position Description:
The Department of Theory and History of Art and Design ( THAD ) at Rhode Island School of Design ( RISD ), invites applications for part-time faculty members to teach in the spring semester, 2025. Applications for fall 2025 will also be considered.
RISD recognizes principles of social equity, inclusion, and diversity as fundamental to its academic mission as an art and design school. We understand these principles to require ongoing attention to difference and expansion of the forms of knowledge from which our curricula originate. RISD is engaged in the collective work of institutional transformation and would value applicants whose pedagogical and professional experiences have prepared them to foster equitable teaching and learning environments. We encourage applicants whose teaching and professional work (creative practice and/or academic scholarship) centers on bodies of knowledge from historically underrepresented communities. We are eager to welcome applicants who can help advance the institution's social equity, inclusion, and diversity goals and those from groups whose underrepresentation in the American professoriate has been severe and long standing, including Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and other People of Color, people who identify as LGBTQIA+, veterans, people with disabilities, and first-generation college students. THAD seeks art historians to teach required and elective courses to RISD undergraduate students. Opportunities include teaching sections of THAD's first-year introductory courses (H101: Global Modernisms and H102: Critical Introduction to the History of Architecture and Design), and teaching elective lectures and seminars on topics in the candidate's area of expertise. The department is especially interested in adding electives in the following areas: history of drawing, history of animation, ancient and early modern South Asian art and design, early modern art and design of Europe, contemporary design (especially digital design).Required Qualifications:
